You will inform London of my proposition

what do you make of it?

Incredible!

do we have anything on Botto?

very little

but he's a ca...ca...class two stack KGB lieutenant coronel

is genuine then?

........

then, this could be of the highest importance

could you go up there and take over?

Well...

Volkov would be greatly impressed if the Head of the anti-Soviet Department flying out in person to meet him

Very well

Good!

We'll have to let Foreign Office security know, I suppose, but no one else

Two soviet agents ,the Foreign Office, the third the Head of the Counterespionage Department, here

Is beyond believe

Isn't it Philby

Absolutely

In return for political asylum...also 27.500 pounds I would .... you most valuable information

Soviet Council General ,please

he's coming.... cover story.....

Oh,yes

Mr. Volkov please

Hello.Mr. Volkov?

Reckaf. British Embassy

What happened to our appointment?

I see...

That is Mr Volkov ....

Yes...

Thank you...All right

Goodbye.

He said it was Volkov but... it wasn't

I know Volkov voice anywhere

Soviet Council General,please

Isn't that worst?

I shouldn't say who I am but I may recognize his voice

Hello.Mr.Volkov please.

Mr.Constantine Volkov

V. O. L. K. O .V

He's a Vice Council in this.....

I was speaking with him just one minute ago

I see...

Thank you.

..................

How the hell did they find out?

Oh any one in a number of ways

Yes, yes.I can speculate too

I think myself I was insistent on bad communications

if the Russians had .... time to catch up with him

How?

Oh.His office and living quarters were probably ....

and then there was that foul in the Treasury Department of the Consulate to now admits....

....mentioning his name in the telephone to Ankara

Which could be tapped

Volkov said so

Anyway, this makes us pretty......

I have no doubts both Foreign Office security and MI5 would waste not time at all in making sure that the Treasury Department does all about it

Moreover Volkov disappearence does tend to lean .... to his extraordinary claims

It could be still be a plan

Aiming what?

Increasing the mistrust between MI5,SAS, FI security

making us all suspicious of each other

Do all ............to Rastad?

Is a possibility

There would be a inquiry of course.

Yes

Possibly under Farkas and the FO security

Anyway you file your report.Answer his questions

letting sort it out if he can

Well he'll have a little enough to go on

Perhaps more than you think

Security investigation into a major espionage leak from our ...Embassy in Washington.

It's classified Cabinet and ,since you have been offered the Washington job,I have got clearance for you to see it.

It was some time ago

But there are some rather nasty parallels with this Volkov business

Which brings me to the whole question of the Washington posting.

Yes.

I understand you haven't yet accepted.

That's right

Why not?

Oh... domestic problems

I see.

But you do understand how absolutely essential it is that someone of your caliber takes it

You have done a brilliant job here

Building up a soviet counter espionage from absolutely nothing.

But the importance of Washington is impossible to exaggerate

Not only the Head the firm in USA with the closest possible links the new CIA outfit.

there is not more important new job in Western Intelligence at the moment.

Now tell me how you think about it... tonight

All right

Good!

And we will talk again when you read that

During the last months of the war by some error of code books, the Russian Embassy in New York again .....top secret information to the Kremlin.

using a low grade safer.

this procedural mistake lasted just long enough that GGCS, Lesley Surrey to record and decode the main messages been passed.

the first messages consisted on the exact text of top secret telegrams from Churchill to Truman

About what line to take to Stalin over Berl�n.

Oh for goodness shake, Dadly blow your nose

Kim you got a handkerchief?

What?

Handkerchief

Blow

Big blow

Oh , for goodness shake Dadly...

Later messages revealed states of top secret communications between the United States and the United Kingdom Government

over their relative atomic strengths at the outset of the Cold War.

Dadly,come on

The cables would transcribe with great accuracy even quoting the British Embassy file number

Moscow then ...the material had been obtained

at which point the code reverted to high grade .

impossible to crack for revealing the code name of the Agency responsible

........

What's that .....?

Oh that's a report

What about?

Washington

Does it the red cover.....must be removed from the office under any circumstances?

.......how much you bring home

Pressure of work.

Did you accept the Washington post?

Well,I have not decided yet.

Uhm?

I haven't decided yet.

When I decide I'll tell you

Anyway Washington is not the happiest place to be at the moment.

Why?

Ahh.The Americans have terrified the Russians ...... made their own atom bomb.

They know they cannot do it without creavings out there secret processes,so they got neurotic over security

This means that anyone of the Firm could say good way to privacy.

It's a big change!

Hello!

Oh yes,just a minute...

Kim!

Is Stewart

Hi. I haven't finish reading it yet.

No is not about that

Did you read some of it?

Yes

What do you think?

Well it indicates the source of the same level as our Istanbul friends would say.

Exactly.

Listen something else...

My fellow Burgess has been misbehaving in ....again

is about to drag your name into it, he always does .....into home...........

Oh Good!

Was he's been up to now?

Enough that you felt down the stairs of the restaurant which cause the .....

you can leave to go to Tanger and Gibraltar by way of recuperation

To count the less.That's right

During which time .....discuss wit some of .....

Oh.I wouldn't say that

You called personally on every British agent in the area

Telling them that in Foreign Office opinion their work was far from satisfactory

Well,I don't mind working on holiday

But what possible authority ...... to do such a thing

Somebody had to tell them

But you sharing Foreign Office opinion

and that we will not have

Of course I'm aware of the off jobs you do for the .....Department at the road.

I bage you pardon.

But this is on my concern

While you are here you work for us

My cover job.

Is not a cover job

You are supposed to do a full day's work here

Yes,and I do a full day's work.

In the course of a drunken luncheon at the Rock Hotel, Gibraltar, you announced to everyone in the dinning room that we were about to recognize Communist China

That the Cabinet was split 50/50 in Korea and other classified matters

You then,pointed out that the Head of the British Security Western man who happened to be dinning at the next table

singing a song at him which begin with the words Little boys are cheap today, cheaper than yesterday

Is that rare all that?

And this is a accurate account of your ........?

No.

Is not.

No

It has all the coulorful bits

...........

I know your record

I read some of your papers for the Far East Department.There are brilliant

Which ones?

Well, the one about General Macarthur liaisons with Chan Kai Se

Oh,that's all right

Your prediction of the Berl�n Airlift and the consequences are 100% accurate as far as I can judge

Yes,it was

It's just my poorest wild behavior.... you don't find some attractive

Exactly

Is a limit to the sort of ...... we can tolerate here.

childist exhibitionism

munching rob garlic at your desk for couples

darling a half bottle of brandy in the canteen for breakfast

actually beyond my comprehension of a fun ... .............................

then perhaps you mischarge me

My work is top road .I recruited some of the best in SAS

Really?

Yes.

Really?

I recruited Kim Philby Head of Soviet Counter espionage.

I picked him up and recruited and others like him

You don't like my table banners... well stuffed it

Was the classified information you was shouting at all accurate?

Well...little boys were cheap at that day

Go home,.................

I'm astonish that Burgess was one's though to be a genius.

At forty he is drunken, dirty and dissolute

but spasmodically brilliant

He appears to have access to much classified information

None of which could have come trough his lowly position with us

but which must have come either from his CIA's contact or via the Old Queen's net

It's an embarrassment, but no one has open the indiscreet as he's

Could possibly be a serious security risk.

I said yes to Washington.

Well it was really too important if you said no. Wasn't it?

Really not the point.

Aileen this is the Head of the entire SAS in the USA!

I'm very glad for you!

Good!

Yes.It wasn't difficult to limit the suspects down from 700 to about 32

merely by the next .....conceivable to have access to the material

but to take it further...

Not even with Volkov's comments?

Well they actually create no new lines of enquiry

But.... Willy del Roberts cross index Volkov's with Kravinsky and that gave me an idea

Kravinsky?

It was before the war!

Yes,yes.He defected...... with all sorts of....

some of which we managed to get before the KBG.....

Yes,yes,yes.

Now....It...Minot Bullet

The one thing he said was...

....that the Head of Soviet Intelligence in Western Europe

had personally recruited by 1935 a young man of good family who had been in Eaton and Oxford

he was a idealist working without payment

Oh, that's not much

for an educated man?

It....was discarded of a...

But...if you matched it up with the Washington short list

Oh this is impossible!

Roger Procter, Paul Gold Booth...Michael Write..... Donald Maclean

Maclean? He's not .... on Oxford

No, but Foreign Office.... ...........

Now, these men.. there are short of people

and that's just..........

Your department has also assume that spies are recruited from secretaries and ..... and and people went to the wasted paper bins

But Volkov and Kravinsky employed soviet recruitment of people like us

While young!

Maybe still at University

Who then made penetration of the Foreign Service

Their lifes's work

Well, I can't conceived it

Right, Procter. Procter?.No.

................ on Paul Gold Booth's

Why?

Well ,he's....... on Oxford

And in the Foreign Office in 1933

Splendid classical scholars at the....... would be appropriate

and what's the Russian ......

Oh God sake,I don't know

Gelma

And in the anagram go...

in Golvow

As for idealism...

Is a Christian scientist Mati Tekla

Sometimes I think you are wasted on Whitehall, Fargusson

Is a pity Philby was in Washington then and he may have some ideas

Where is Maclean now?

Cairo

He's at Chandre

As a matter of fact if ...... just .....two complementary security reports for him

That's him

One of the golden boys.... at the top

He was in Washington in 1944 to 48 and secretary of the combined Anglo-American Policy Committee on the atom development

So, he had access?

But .........

Yes, but we are looking for .....men out

So?

Maclean is the only one who didn't go to Eaton

You did what?

Reporting you to London for your drinking

In my view as Security Officer it now constitutes a security risk

and may one ask what you said?

That as Head of Chandre in a grade A Embassy you see far to much top secret material considering your unrelaibility

and that in my view you should be transferred

Get out!

Not to I finish,sir

Get out of this house

I want to institute a spot check system in all embassy staff to see no one was borrowing classified material

But you brought it

Now, the sixth copy of telegramm 1127 is missing and that is my responsibility

1127 is totally unimportant!

No, it is not. Is about Cuba

How the hell do you know that?

never you mind

I have to make a report on it tonight and intend to say you blocked my spot check scheme that would have prevented it

That's what I came to tell you

I know nothing about the dam copy

It came to your office?

No!

You signed for all six copies, then distributed five

the sixth should be on file!

And it isn't.

No,sir.

I can't feel responsible for every little scrap of paper that passes across my desk!

I'll tell you what really worries me

I read up your Washington file before you ever came here

You had access to even hottest affairs

You were one of three who had a 24 hour unaccompanied pass to anywhere you liked inside the Atomic Energy Center

I'll tell you frankly. If you......security there

I fear for all of us

What the hell is all that about?

That's .................

Has reported me as security risk

Never!

.....I drink to much in ......parties!

Well...

Don't you?

Don't you stop

Why the hell shouldn't I say what I think. This is a disgusting country.Disgusting!

We all sit here swelling ourselves silly

While 90% of the population robs away a disease and malnutrition

But is that the best line in bright cocktail ................

You said last night there was some sort of probe on

What?

Since any ..... drinking

When did I say that?

When you came to bed

I couldn't follow it all

You better tell me

.......MI 5 probe is top secret

into what?

Our time in Washington

Your time in Washington

There was a leakage of classified information I'm one of the suspects

Just don't ask me Hanna

What it wasn't you

Of course not

And why so worried?

Because it could look like me!

I had access to all the information the Russians apparently got

Every key decision between us and the Americans about the Cold War

NATO

JAP Peace Treaty

Korea

I knew things like the annual uranium buying requirements

Now, actually that is about just as secret as you can get

because if you know that you work out how many bombs we'll be making

Somebody told them

Who?

I don't know

But whoever he is,must be the most important agent they have

Russians are gonna get that bomb

Now ...... together

Every scrap of knowledge they can filter on the West

And when it goes off

There will be the............. since the middle ages

It is MaClean

If I know ........... too close

Look ,one of my .....to work closely with the FBI and they pursued to the Embassy' s file

Of course its interrogations must be avoided

Absolutely

Information about the enemy,is power only in so far as he knows exactly what you have learned

........

So it is MaClean?

You are leaving for Washington

Wednesday

It may have to be got out sooner than you think

It would be difficult to exaggerate the ...... of this development

while America alone held the bomb the world was safe

The soviet bomb is a threat to world peace of the highest order

While we debate what should be our new policy in the light of this grave event

I will give the people of America one solemn promise

No effort will be spared, no stone left unturned to route out with the utmost vigour those traitors and our society ....... the secret to the Soviet Union

Yes?

Ah,look...ah

Sorry.

What are you doing now?

We arrive in Washington..................

We haven't even unpacked yet!

Crisis like these were just ..... by the ......staff in London

When are we going to see them?

I don't know

Look, I must go!

Sorry

I can't get you anymore .......

So from now on we'll send all technical documents via the....All right?

Oh, that's... that's not necessary

You can't possibly cope with all that too.

as the important thing is to keep everything between London and Washington going to this one side of the office otherwise we....a hell of a mess

Well...

Ah.....

Top bunch of .......evaluations of fision products in fall out samples taken by US air force pilots

.....that game

What?

..................

.........supposed they know .....

These two....

No.Just....

By the way, do you know about this chap?

Klaus Frox? Yes.

No.

I have it in good authority they are about to arrest him for espionage

A German born, freed from Hitler

Worked over here at Los Alamos to 47

Then moved across the harbor on the plutonium bomb

Is one of the very bright boys

It's pretty certain a soviet agent

They had been investigating him for the last six months

Well

I heard nothing about it

That's what worries me

If means the FBI had been holding out of us since the Embassy ......

May be they suspect someone here

By the way ...... .........

te..te...te.... ter up!

flying out here tonight

Oh. What can they do? The only decision now is .... them

......,what's that?

whether they called it .... ....make a super bomb

Hydrogen bomb?

Yes,that's right

I think that's what they called it

I implore the leaders of the world to resist this temptation.

They shall be a union at strong level in the atomic arm race.

..... or what means is immaterial

........... ............

..............................

by the secret manufacture or even more terrible thermal nuclear weapons

such weapons would ..... by many hundred of times

even those which .... terribly annihilated Nagasaki and Hiroshima

I beg them to .... ....

I beg them not to embark upon what can only be the first stage on a hellish escalation

to enlarge and yet more hellish arsenal

who's such a cost could have only .....

ultimately and inevitably

it must lead to the destruction of all life from this planet

The Americans are going ahead to try to make a hydrogen bomb

.....proven impossible to manufacture

I suggest to inform grade A embassies and absolutely no one else

including Cairo?

Yes

Cairo 5th of May

It is regretted that to due to.... work Mr. D.D Maclean Head of Chandre has suffered a nervous breakdown

and has temporally been released from his duties

It is suggested the highly valued officer would be given 6 months leave to convalescence

and is then formed a new position .......with his outstanding promise

What's that?

Guy is .. here as the second secretary

certainly stay with us until they find the flat

I'll not have that man on our house again Kim

But I know him ...all my life

I don't care....how long you know him he is a disgusting flop

In Turkey , in London......

He stunk.he ..... you a stupid habit of drink

what is it between you two?

I'm not having him. I'm not having that man in this house!

Now listen guys, said.

When you get to Washington you must remember three things

Don't be too aggressive the left wing

Don't get involve on race relations

and make sure there are not public homosexual incidents

I see, I said

What really mean is that I must not make a pass to Paul Robson

..................

the theory is that little ..... would be less noticed here

What?

In a large .....???

Pubs and.....

Did it indeed?

.... who said he was my brain storm

What do you mean worst?

Girls?

..................

Seriously Kim,......... me to do here

Oh,initially, yes

About three weeks ago some .......... commentators...... that anybody who thought that would drag our feet of ca...ca...reer should write to British Embassy about it

golden start for answering those letters

How many?

About four thousand

Oh, my God!

Guy, message on the children. Could you help to.......?

Thank you!

Now, what's wrong with that, eh?

The crypto analyst have come up with something new about the 1945 leakage

After so long?

They just break through one of these new computers

Is a wonderful thing!

We are just feeding in all our crap stuff

You remember how the code reverted to high grade?

The manage to get some glimmerings out of it

Yes

From them, you can deduce that the Washington spy

Must have gone to New York every 3 o 4 days

to see his soviet contact

So?

In 1945 MaClain's wife was living with their mother in New York.

And he was to see her every Tuesday and Friday evening from Washington

The perfect cover

My God!

We just made him the Head of the American Desk in London!

After Zildes there wasn't nothing pull against him

Can hold him.

Put him under surveillance!

We'll held all classified travel 6 material

He'll notice

And inform all grade A embassies....

....immediately

Confidential.Strictly Class 1 Security only

Re. Mr. D.D.Maclean American Department

Thank you very much

Thank you.

And I imaging panic

and ...........

panicking and .........him

The state is in a cr..crack and interrogation within 24 hours

Revealing what?

..................of all of us

I do not think he will act stupidly

Fai...I admire your faith!

We have told him to ignore the standard escape plan That is obviously out of the question

You are not still in touch with him!

Until yesterday

Incredible!

But now we must get details of other escape brought to him

No.Th...that is impossible!

..... under surveillance

but with the right courier

What?

Are you sure will not be no suspicious if Burgess went to see him

On official business

And where the hell have you being!

I beg you pardon?

I just been gathering your drunken friend into his bed!

he screw up up all over the kitting table

he came back with the most disgusting man... I had to call the police

as they were fighting in the kitchen

Kim...I'll not have it. That's being here for 4 months now

because..................

What is it between you two?

and what kind of a man like that doing in the embassy anyway

Look,....................

You'll have to get me out

In good time Mr. Maclean. We will be in touch

Please do not phone this number again!

The ....are watching me

Kim...I'm so dreadfully sorry!

That's enough about that

No. That's a terrible thing to do

Marvelous friends

You are moving to a hotel tonight , no matter what. All right?

Yes!

Of course!

It's being a long line on squalid failures everything was Cambridge

Oh, no

It has Kim. It has!

You know Soft Graves?

He's even taking me of this letters

Got me filing press cutting now

not even in my contact regarding me a decent spy anymore

....asked me to do anything for two years!

Well.

It's something we know now

Yes?

To the utmost importance

A very top man has to be cught out.

You'll have to return to London to re...re...replace him

Who?

Maclean

What?

When you get back to London you'll have to contact to Control there to check on the details of the scape plan, the'll...

.....they'll finalize

Then, pay some sort of visit to Maclean at the F.O

While you are talking to him...

put a typed note on his hand arranging a further meeting away from the office

but don't say anything

Second meeting, you brief him fully

All right?.

Yes.

It's absolutely essential so you don't bops this guy

Because if you ... I'll get drawn into it

Our association over the years, is to well know

The problem is to get to sent back to London quickly

without they looking suspiciuosly.......

Oh.I think you can leave that to me.

The State government has protested in the stronger possible terms

You're booked three times in one afternoon for the most grotesque speaking

80 miles on hour ....... to Washington

Oh!

Do you deny it?

It was at least 100

You made homosexual passes to the policeman who finally managed top stop you

and when they attempt to arrest you for this you claimed diplomatic immunity

On your desk you left open classified documents for all to see

documents that you have not absolutely no right to be handling in any case

Yes.

I am ....very sorry about that

I'll be friend with you but just....

When you first arrived,I thought the only possible explanation must be that you were somehow...

....part of deeply plan of the MI5

but enough is enough

you'll return to London

and report in person to the Head of the American Department

Mr. Donald Maclean

Came on , cheer up

Don't you go too

What do you want from me?

Your support!...

...in getting the Foreign Secretary to sign it!.

To bring Maclean into questioning?

That's right

by?

Five.

Mr. Skardon,

Probably

But is not convincing

It's all circumstantial

But he can't be left any longer

Reports of the Los �nimos agreement will be coming trough any day

and we mustn't run any risk of... about that

Scardon could see him tomorrow afternoon

He's on such a nervous state my guess is that he'll crack inmediately

I don't like it

I think I should come with you and see the Home Secretary

As you wish

Sir.

Anything else?

Guy Burgess is reported back from Washington

I had to be a discipline report

Every ......, of course

Is he behaving himself now?

So far....

As a matter of fact the first thing he did was to visit Maclean

Barrywods Station, 6.30 p.m Can't be sooner.Must meet contact first

They are chopping me up because I have been blunt

...........

..... Why not?

With Krewisky was a political....

There is not comparison between you and Krewisky

Oh they.............. usefulness

Why should they?

Not sentimentality is self preservation

If by not other reason they are going to leave you

so the other chaps in the field they are not abandoned

when the bogey start closing in they whisk out to safety

unless they did that, the whole Secret Service will collapse

.......... ...others

Yes.Well

System is designed so you don't know about them

But ......

I mean, there's not one you can tap

Talk to.Discuss the most passion of the important thing in your life. No one

At some times their.... loneliness, lack of human contact was cracking my head open

Had to lie all the time beyond your ..... every minute

Even sex.....

What about your Control?

The ......... faceless Russian

........love him

Because the only substitute for a human being who knows you are...bleak universe

Yeah,but besides...... they don't want to lose a extremely good agent like you

While there is the remoteness chance of you continuing

Continuing?

So they are not panicking. The are planning on you scape properly

It may very well not needed

The evidence against you is pretty slide. Remember

How do you know that?

Well.That's what I'm told

They will be up on front of Scardon. How long you think I'm going to hold that?

You wouldn't crack

We interrogate Jews and in every drop out of..

Well.Presumably...... strong methods.... ........

Just ..............gentile, lite

.................

I mean,what Am I supposed to do until....

You carry on normally

Oh yes, with ...... my neck

.....my office every day

Yuggling their ............. in a paralell listment..... just in case I haven't notice. Oh no..no..I don't

....... next door........about it

The only work office I...

It's true .I get the 519 ........... they come with the barrier and they go home

No one and then watches me to 8.45 the next morning. No one.

So I'm in the week end

................... except the weekend and probably right

What about your wife?

What you?

Well... What happens?

You mean if I go?

Join me up there

In Moscow?

In Moscow, yes , I suppose.

Guy, I use to read.... exciting ......in paper

Just spent the rest of their lives drunk in Switzerland talking about home

Except it really will be home in this case, .........?

and what are you going to do?

The old one!...

Spending the week end with Burnet Miller in Britany.

Just carrying on normally

Ah,yes. I forgot that it doesn't really affect you. Does it?

Yes ,of course, it does!

I'm all washed up,Donald

I'm finish with the F.O...

...and with this country.

I want to go home too.

Why the heel I didn't I know about this before?

We didn't want to worry you Minister until we were certain

You are not certain now!

I have read this thing you know

I don't go around ..... every bit of papers ....White House

My concern is with the American's reactions when they found out

You said it!

If we say we even suspect that the Russians got that bomb

partially because we insisted the US shared their nuclear secrets with us

via a man who just happens to be a soviet spy as well

My Christ.It doesn't bear thinking about

After ............ and all the others since the war

You said is going to be now or worst may happen?

Yes, Minister

All right.I'll have to warn the cabinet

Because.....

It's Thursday now.You want to arrest him tomorrow, Friday. Eh?

That's right

It can't be done

I'll sign it for after the week end.That will give me the chance to warn everybody

By Christ you better be right about this......,

and anybody else should know that I....sign this?

What about our people in Washington?

Only a CIA liaison man, Philby

Is all right then

.................

Just a minute, please

A overseas call four you

What's the time?

One moment, please

Mr. Burgess?

Yes...

I have a collect call for you for the public call .... Washington

Will you accept the charge?

Yes...

Donald!

Who is it?

Donald?

Taxi!

We take the SS ....... from Southampton to Saint Malo midnight

Then, taxi to Rennes ,Catch the 118 in Paris then the night express to Vienna

Don told me last night

Uhm

That he's been a soviet agent since Cambridge...

for nineteen years

all through our married life

Washington, Cairo, a lot

You no idea

None.

Ours has been always been a pretty shaky partnership

but even so...

He also told me about you and him at Cambridge

Disgusting!

.......a good long time ago

You are saying it finish then?

I don't belive....... .... about Donald's work

And why?

For nineteen years to choose

You don't choose to do it

You do it because of ..... ......dead wood of this country past

The tradition of all that dead generation ........ like a nightmare on .....you can't breath

Oh yes, the telegram. Last night

What was it?

Kim...

The bird is flown.

What bird?

Not Maclean?

Yes

But it's worst than that.

What?

Guy Burgess is going with him

How long have these bastards been spies

When were they recruited?

.....knowledge of this?

Have I...

Now wait a minute!

.....looking for a plan here

Yes...

I suppose at least is in your favor

You hardly advertise the connetion if you were in any way involved

What do you mean?

Well, somebody tip them off.

You are the only one person linked with both.

and about friendship

On knowledge of .......on Maclean

CIA. They will be on you like a ton of bricks.

You better get back to London tonight.

Run away?

No man .........chance could handle it

Look.

They disappeared.All right

Is it now certain they are defected?

Oh yes.

Burgess even left a forwarding address with his flat made

It reads.... Stage Door The Bolshoi Theater Moscow

I think it was a joke

there is nothing, I think, they can accuse you of.

You rolled at Cambridge together

.......

They left wing

No. Christ. What does it mean?

Well. You tell me that they....

And what do you know about it?

...... is a different world.

.....is about to collapse in front of Nazis

The only hope seems to be soviet Russia

That's.....

That's not non sense

But then...

you care and....

20 years old

that was really a alternative

I use to see it hit undergraduates around me like...like...

like a religious conversion

but you grew out of this

I grew out of it

Oh why didn't they?

I said we were recruited at that time

and ...there is not turning back?

.......change?

Not matter how much we...

may discover what really goes on inside the Soviet Union?

Want to say yes

...the door co...co..

That's it.

For life

.....................

...... has been betrayed by us

exaggeration... where is this bloody copy about it?

Foster Dulles cables me like if they are going to restart the war of independence

They have their traitors too

There are 14 questions on ..... this afternoon.

...... a full scale debate

and the press

Oh, we tried to play it down

wouldn't to good at that Would you?

I mean, how far have these ripples go

Look at these questions I have got this afternoon

Would the Foreign Secretary institute a enquiry into the suggestion made in the Sunday newspapers

that there is wide spread sexual perversion in the Foreign Office?

Surely.... 10 out of that

No I don't.

...after form a opinion.We may be other...

We are desperate for access to American secrets

and we..already got more agonized faces that ... this ...affaire

....to the entire .....

.....

Make strong gestures!

But don't share Washington perception of gift!

I'm talking about...presumably

But what gesture you suggest?

Philby.... to go for start

But he has not.... hearing it

.........

It will be in the form of a enquiry

by Council

of the evidence against you

A secret trial, if you like

here in my office

I see.

So we can say we grilled him in his cream

Of course it will not be clean

and the normal process of law take over

You see Hoover says that... either do we sack you

or they break off Anglo-US intelligence relations

Well the, suck me

That will be an admision of guilt

An admission of guilt whereas in fact we don't know

One way or the other

Ah, of course

It's best we are frank

And ...who.. conducts this enquiry?

Skardon?

Initially Ellen Milmo

Is a former MI5 lawyer

Skardon comes later

I see

You know Skardon?

I heard about his cosy methods

Melmoe

You may find rather less cosy

You are asking us to believe that at no stage during your entire career..

did you ever read one word about the Volkof affair just..... Burgess?

Well, Bu...Bu... Burgess and I had a nu..nu...numbers of meetings between 1932 and joint timing in Washington

He... sometimes...stay at our house

Did you at any stage discuss the Volkof Affair with him?

Well, it's very difficult to remember what ma.. ma... .... to said

But... Sure you can ......

Please!!

Gu...Gu...Guy's conversation was...

...somewhat difficult to follow

rather like your own, Mister

Melmoe

But surely members of MI6 should never discuss their work together?

Ah well, it depends of wh ..wh... what you mean by work

I'm not concerned in the ..... about legal points, Mr.Philby

I'm concerned purely... with understanding

I'm sure there is no one in that room

who is not moved

by what you are getting us

it all makes complete sense

so.... as I'm concerned

Except one thing

Why did not you, yourself...

....ever actually joint the Communist Party?

Because I was never convinced

But those around you were...

........

Did you ever attend party meetings?

Uhm...open meetings

Open to public

I also attended co..co..conservative meetings

Uhm

Say you had sympathies with conservatives views!

No.

I already told you

Mine were undergraduate's left

And............

I may say so

I was most impressed...

at the understanding you showed ....

...of Burgess and Maclean's viewpoint

What I .......to be their view point

Of course ,naturally

It's never your own!

That's right

That's understood.

But you didn't know them both at Cambridge?

Curious .....is coming back to Cambridge. Isn't it

Though there are after your past divided

Yes.

Yeah.

Which brings us to this

Detailed.....

.........kindly supply us

Extraordinary industry write

No.

Reading it trought

There is one tiny...

....detail that puzzles me

That should be ...good to explain

You see, mentioned things here...

that you did not mention

When you first join the Diplomatic Service

Because I thought there were not important

Ah.

Is that the reason?

I see

I read in your notes that you first marry a Austrian lady Lizzie Friedman?

Ha ha...that's right

In Vienna in 1933?

How old would you been then?

Oh...21?

You said she was a member of the Communist Party

Yes.

Uh

You omitted to mention that when you first join the Service, in the curriculum vitae that you supply

I didn't see.... important then

Not important Mr. Philby?

Well , the marriage lasted less than a year

Oh. Lizzie was a little firebrand ......................

I adored her for a few months but...

I never shared our political believes

How did it begin?

What?

Your involvement with Lizzie?

Well...we were... at walking one day, in the snow

and she just,suddenly .....

Well, it was sort of mutual actually

I know it sounds impossible but it's really quite warm

want to get going

Thanks

After Cambridge I bought a motorbike and went to Vienna

Try to .....

I was deeply interested in contemporary politics. Cheers!

Cheers!

And why Vienna?

I was at the center of the fascist communist concept of that time

Uhm

Oh yes. The workers uprising of 1933

Put down by the Government... with great ....

And you went poorly as a observer...

Yes.

And the wife who you meet there and with whom you were deeply in love...

...took a very active part

Uhm, I belive so

Believe so, Mr Philby?

Well...It may sound extraordinary but we were apart for weeks at that time...

There was very little time to discuss anything

You see....I do find that' s so difficult to grasp

but your sympathies

merit such as woman

you still took no active part...

You say you witness the ......by government troops of .......... population....

Did I?

Didn't you say so at those articles you wrote?

I didn't realize you read them

I felt I ought to, Mr.Philby

Those that you sold to the English press...

....were very easily track down by your Austrian articles

Oh... Those are merely typed broad sheets

typed and duplicated

Uhm

Distributed in street corners

During the uprising

Actually fascinating

my German is very, very rusty

Do you mind translating these......for me?

I have marked it here Is about the 300 killed when there was....to.....

Ah...No one could witness that a.....seen without been overwhelmed by the conviction that the world is fast going fascist and only communism can save it

A sincerely held view?

we have......

At the time

At the time...

Please go on

Socialism has quite failed to stop it

It failed in England in 1931, Germany in 1933

It is failing in Viena now

those of us who are living trough these things will for the rest of our lives

feel ourselves separated by..... from those who know nothing of it

And not three months later....

...you returned to England publicly ....of the left wing connections and join the Service

A gross.... misinterpretation!

Others may not think so.

Will the Foreign Secretary appoint a selected Committee

to investigate the circumstances of the disappearance of Burgess and Maclean

.....

Has the Foreign Secretary made up his mind to cover up at all cost...

....the activities of Mr.Philby?

It put us on a impossible position

Foreign Secretay will have to answer one way or another

Well I could get him

I just could not get him!

I wasn't given the ......... information

I'm quite certain in my mind as to his guilt

But you couldn't probe it

I could

Given enough time

Farqusson?

The same

Well, there is not more time

So I have no alternative

but to advice a complete denial

and leave it at that?

Oh no, no. We are offering him some work

Work?

Undercover of course

We'll put him in some sensitive spot in the Soviet Network

feeding a few tip bits and see what happens

a further trial

If you like!

What...cover?

The observer on the Economist has agree to take him on as joint correspondent in Beirut

Uhm...Is ideal... ..from our point of view

And he be kept under surveillance?

...............

Meantime, full public clearance

Did you see any alternative?

Excuse me. Thank you

............

Would you like to ...this area?

...gentlemen. If there are any questions, bearing in mind that I may have to be.... of sensitive matters

My colleagues have asked me to put the questions sir,

fire ....

If it was a third man...where you him?

No, I was not

Do you think there was one?

No comment

What about the ...... Communist Associations? Can you say anything about that?

The last time I spent to a communist knowing him to be a communist was sometime in 1934

Burgess gave you no idea he was one?

Never

Is it true that you are moving to Beirut?

Yes. I'm steping out of all this .... light Things have been a bit...lately.

I'm looking forward to a quiet life

Eight years later...

Kim Philby quietly disappeared in Beirut and surfaced in Moscow

He has been a full colonel of the KGB for twenty years

and the Russians confered on him the greatest honor. The order of the red banner on his retirement from active service
